Is userspace expected to use this EOPNOTSUPP error to tell virtual cursor planes apart from generic hardware planes that were just tagged as cursor? I am thinking about how an atomic KMS client can do both: - use generic cursor plane for generic content, and - use a virtual cursor plane correctly One possibility here is for the atomic KMS client: - try to set DRM_CLIENT_CAP_SUPPORTS_VIRTUAL_CURSOR_PLANE - if it succeeds, all cursor planes it can see are virtual - if it fails, all cursor planes it can see are generic That sounds good to me, because I don't think the same DRM device would want to expose both kinds of cursor planes. However, this should be added in the DRM documentation facing userspace. > + if (!file_priv->atomic) > + return -EINVAL; > + if (req->value > 1) > + return -EINVAL; > + file_priv->supports_virtual_cursor_plane = req->value; > + break; > default: > return -EINVAL; > } > diff --git a/include/uapi/drm/drm.h b/include/uapi/drm/drm.h > index 642808520d92..f24a1941abca 100644 > --- a/include/uapi/drm/drm.h > +++ b/include/uapi/drm/drm.h > @@ -836,6 +836,23 @@ struct drm_get_cap { > */ > #define DRM_CLIENT_CAP_WRITEBACK_CONNECTORS 5 > > +/** > + * DRM_CLIENT_CAP_SUPPORTS_VIRTUAL_CURSOR_PLANE > + * > + * If set to 1, the DRM core will expose cursor plane to be used for > + * virtualized mouse cursor, without virtualized drivers will not expose > + * the cursor plane in atomic contexts. Cursor planes in virtualized I would suggest some re-wording here, because at first I read this like: Without virtualized drivers, setting this cap will hide all cursor planes from userspace. It's also a bit unclear on what happens when userspace sets this cap on a non-virtual driver. From the code I see that it will fail, but that might be a surprise to userspace developers.
